Vin Santo D.O.C.

Description

This traditional sweet wine from the province of Lucca is made of Trebbiano and Colombana grapes. The grapes are dried on reed mats for three months. After pressing, it ferments naturally and ages in small wooden barrels called “Caratelli” for four years. This procedure gives the wine its typical amber colour and gives it its compex aromas of honey, caramel, tropical fruits and peanuts. In the mouth it develops its fantastic taste of dried pineapple, figs and apricot as well as acacia honey and hazelnut, never being excessively sweet thanks to its good acidity. Good when paired with mature cheese, almond desserts, hazelnut cookies.

Serve at 15°C.
